Hatch" <rlhatch@home.ifx.net> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: User Passwords and 2.1.5-RELEASE Date: Mon, 12 Aug 1996 23:17:53 +0000 Organization: Internet Effects Lines: 13 Message-ID: <320FBBA1.1CFBAE39@home.ifx.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ftp.ifx.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b6Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2-960612-SNAP i386) I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE to 2.1.5-RELEASE. After the upgrade, I noticed that many users are complaining about having email problems. They cannot send email. These are users that have been on the system for quite some time and have not had any problems. Coincidently, upon upgrading, this common problem has surfaced. The way I performed the upgrade, I backed-up key files (i.e., master.passwd) and over-wrote these upon installing the new software. What reasons could there be to cause these email problems that I am having? Could it be the encription that 2.1.5-RELEASE introduced? Robert rlhatch@home.ifx.net
